The NDHCB is pleased to introduce its newest online preparatory test. This second prep test was developed by the NDHCB and ProExams. The content is confidential and is not to be copied or discussed with any other person or used for any reason other than as an online knowledge/practice test. The aim of the test is to help candidates become familiar with the format of the questions and provide an indication of preparedness for the actual National Dental Hygiene Certification Examination (NDHCE).  It is designed to simulate the format of the actual NDHCE on a smaller scale as it contains 75 multiple-choice, single-answer questions. 

If you need to leave the test at any time without finishing, simply close your browser and log back in when ready to continue. Please note, once you  click “Continue to results summary,” you will be unable to reenter the test. 

Completing this practice test does not result in certification in any way. Furthermore, this instrument is for online practice purposes only and should not be construed as exactly duplicating the new electronic NDHCE (to be available for everyone in January 2011). As you view your score report at the end of the test, you will be able to compare your answers to the correct response for any question answered incorrectly. This test can therefore be used to identify areas in which further study might be needed and should be a good indicator of your level of preparedness. However, performance on the test will not predict whether you will pass the NDHCE. Please note, all test scores and answers will remain confidential. 

Thank you for your interest in national certification. We wish you the best of luck on this preparatory test and on the National Dental Hygiene Certification Examination. 

Sincerely, 

Doris Lavoie, B.Sc., MSW, CAE
Executive Director
